Motorola Droid: Hands-on impressions and thoughts

http://techvi.com/shows/bottom-line/2009/10/motorola-droid-hands-on-impressio...

We havent had a chance to get our grubby mits on the Motorola Droid, but luckily we talk to Nilay Patel from Engadget and Gary Krakow from The Faster Times.com about the phone. Shockingly, theyre pretty glowingly happy about the device, saying the software is snappy, the processor is fast, and the GPS support, which has been getting some buzz, is excellent. The bad side? The keyboard isnt as stellar as some would have expected, but Nilay says hes barely touched keyboard since hes using the on-screen keyboard so frequently. Nilay stopped short of recommending the phone over the iPhone, but did say its a great device for Verizon customers.

Were excited to spend some time with the Droid ourselves, but for now, it sounds like Moto is on the right track. Distributed by Tubemogul.

Ehhh I can't believe they completely left windows mobile out of this mix. Why didn't they compare it to the Touch Pro 2 on Verizon. I think the blackberry storm 2 is a great device but I can't consider anything a smartphone that isn't flexible enough to be smart.

he has perfectly valid reasons to think that the droid is better.
